Microstrip Antenna–Oscillators Integrated with a Waveguide Built in a Dielectric Substrate

Resumo

The design of a microwave oscillator based on a microstrip log-periodic antenna integrated with a field effect transistor and a waveguide built in a dielectric substrate has been developed and analyzed. The waveguide geometry provides the possibility of propagation and radiation at both the fundamental frequency of the log-periodic antenna and harmonics. Computer simulation of the oscillator design in a frequency range near resonance frequencies of the log-periodic antenna is conducted. The possibility of summation of powers of several antenna–oscillators arranged ias a linear phased array is investigated.
